Calculations are not correct

I have today (Friday) set as an added holiday because it’s a personal day. Yesterday the calculations were correct. But today when I opened the app, it treated today like a work day. I force-closed the app and re-installed it, and the app now displayed it as a non-work day in that the the hours/mins/secs were zero, but days count was one day lower than it should have been.

GREAT Apple

Love it 😊 the only thing is sometimes the time lock screws up. You tried to straighten it out reload the app then I want to charge you again for no ads get it right guys.

Inconsistent remaining days

Handy settings to add your vacation hours and holidays between now and retirement to see how many actual work days are left. However, these settings often don’t work, so remaining days appear much higher sometimes - no rhyme or reason, no link to report this issue. Frustrating. I’m considering searching for a different app.

Vacation hours not deducted consistently.

Please fix the bug that doesn’t subtract vacation hours. This is inaccurate. Sometimes, vacation is subtracted and other times not.

Update: problem fixed! Thank you.

Response from developer

You actually pinpointed the exact issue that a few issues were having. It should be fixed now! Thanks for brining this to me, and if you're still with us, I appreciate your patience.

Not accurately calculating

The app doesn’t accurately days to work, example: retiring on 02Jun2025. App says 236 days. This is not correct. I work, on average, 20 days a month without deducting vacation or holidays. 11 months times 20 days equals 220 days.

Hello! I was having an issue with the app holding state from old logins which may have caused this issue. It should be fixed now, but if you're still having issues please feel free to reach out again! Thanks for your patience.

This app can’t count

Prior to Memorial Day the app added one day to the time left. After the holiday it was accurate. The day before my retirement it started adding 5 hours to time left. The morning of it was 4 hours over. When got down to under 2 hours left the app was still off by + 1. Thankfully I don’t need it any longer.

Sorry to hear that David. This is something I can dig deeper into. If you had any vacation time left in, it may have still be reading that? Regardless this is something I'll be digging into more. Thanks for brining this to me, and I appreciate you using us for tracking your time. I hope retirement is going well!

Like the work day deal but…

Good but does not have an option to be a widget so it shows all the time. I like to watch those days, minutes and seconds disappear.

Response from developer

The widget is on the feature list. Next 3-day weekend I was planning on taking this on!

Counter Issue

When on the Work Time Left option, the Hours, Minutes, Seconds function is all zeros. It doesn’t count down like the Total Time Left option.
Otherwise, really like the app. Simple to use. We hope you will fix this issue. Thank you!

Response from developer

Hey I apologize if this is unclear. If you're on an off day, the work time shouldn't count down. My intent was to have the work time show the exact amount of time you have left at work, so the days will be ~8 hours, if that makes sense?

Needs a fix

I have it on IOS. This app needs a fix where it refreshes when you open the app. It gets locked on the last time you opened it. You have to hard close it, then relaunch to get it to work properly.

Response from developer

This is the EXACT issue I just fixed. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. With Version 2.2.5, the app should refresh every time it is opened. Thanks for your patience!
